Moran Kagan
Pyraminx · top 9.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022KAGA02
Moran Kagan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.40, set at Puriminx B 2023, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 121st in Israel. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2022, he has put 95 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 12.61 in April 2022 to 4.40, a 65% improvement. Moran has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
